<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1794339, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m well aware of that, I collected original mint sets for decades. And finding gem examples can indeed be difficult. But the coins having some marks is a long, long way from what they would have if they first went through a washing process and then were put into tumbling drum filled with crushed corn cobs and other coins to dry them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If that were actually done, then all of the mint set coins would be literally covered, everywhere, with contact marks and hairlines. And most traces of luster would be virtually destroyed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So as I said above, given that that is not true, then there is no way I can believe that actually happens. We shall have to agree to disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
